Cupid: The Angel Appears! (Twin Hearts Chpt.10)

A/N: Ara, ara (My, my)...Vash has found his twin heart already, and all it took was that first moment when he got hit with the arrow. Before you ask, "no I didn't do that", I have control over many things, but I prefer to let the story play out. There's a reason the arrows are there, which you'll find out in this chapter. Also, I'm going to start speeding along with Suzaku's arc since the story is about him, after all. However, as many of you should have figured out, it's not going to be just his actions, but the actions of others towards him. Anyway, enjoy this latest installment to Twin Hearts. "Arigatou Gozaimasu!" (Thanks a lot!)

~~~WhatHappenedToSuzu?~~~

Lunch was just 2 minutes away from ending when the two lovers slowly broke their kiss. There was no need for words as they had developed an understanding with each other just from those scarce few moments that they had just spent together. Vash and Erica walked, hands locked together, back to the entrance of the garden where they encountered a peculiar sight.

Suzaku was holding Alex against the wall, his fist raised and somehow Kira was on the ground unconscious. Vash and Erica did a double-take of the scene and in a synchronized motion, kicked Suzaku with enough force to send him flying a few feet away. Vash offered a hand to help Alex up while Erica kept a deadly watch for Suzaku's movements.

“Are you alright, crazy girl?”

“My name is Alex, and yes, I'm fine.” Alex coldly said, giving a glare to the both of them.

“What did that idiot do this time and why is Kira involved?”

“He didn't do anything perverted if that's what you're thinking. We just wanted to ask him to have lunch with us. Well, I wanted to have lunch with him, and Kira had the same idea too...”

“Let me guess: you both tried to ask him when he came over here and...?”

“Kira went first since she is his little sister and said that she wanted to spend time alone with him. I obviously wanted to interrupt, but I waited for Suzu's response first. He said, 'If you wanted to spend some time with me, just say so. I don't mind at all, since you're my sister. It'll be just like when we were kids, only this time we're closer than ever!', then he smiled at her which made her faint and she's been like that ever since.”

“Okay weird, but it's happened before. Why did he have you against the wall with his fist raised?”

“Um...I let him try some of my lunch since he asked and the next thing I knew, he was holding me up against the wall, fist raised, with a smile on his face. I'm guessing he really liked my cooking, so he was probably being over-dramatic about it.”

“Oh...right, I'm his best friend and even I forgot that he does that sometimes when he eats really delicious food. Oh well, this isn't the first time he's been caught in an odd scene, so don't worry about him. I'll take Suzu and his sister to the infirmary while you two head back to class.” He announced while gesturing to Erica and Alex.

With a wink to Erica, he pulled her aside and whispered into her ear, “I'll be back fast so won't have to wait, my night mistress.” He blew gently into his girlfriend's ear, instantly bringing her body into a deep blush as she sheepishly walked ahead with Alex. Vash turned back to his two unconscious friends as he took a deep breath.

“I'm still doing this after all these years. You two never seem to give me a break, huh? At least you guys keep me fit, so thanks for not changing weight so dramatically since last time.” Vash smiled as he held a one-sided conversation with the two bodies, lifting Suzu onto his shoulders and carrying Kira in his arm with ease. Then, he walked to the infirmary in a light jog, almost as if the extra weight he carried did nothing to impede his movements.

~~~ALookIntoSuzu'sMind~~~

Suzaku painfully opened his eyes, blinking to shake off the sleep. He turned his head back and forth, but all he saw was white curtains and white beds. For a moment, he thought that this was what death is like, but then he heard snoring next to him and locked his eyes on the sleeping form of Kira.

Nevermind. If I died for real, it would definitely be a lot quieter than this. I really hope I don't hear her snoring when I do die though, that would be torturous. Ouch! My head...how did get here anyway? The last thing that happened was Alex giving me some lunch, Kira fainting, and I think Vash was there too. So where am I really?

Suzaku mused as his vision started to clear up. He noticed some medicine cabinets and a metal desk in front of him once he sat up. That's when felt it; a weight pressed up against him, bringing him back down to the bed. He glanced hesitantly to his right after feeling it again: that soft, warm feeling brushing up against him. Suzaku blanched when he found the source of the odd feeling: Alex had fallen asleep holding onto his arm, resting her head on the pillow next to him. Thinking fast, Suzaku carefully maneuvered himself out of Alex's grip and slid silently off the bed.

Checking his phone, he almost screamed when he saw the time. It was 12:45 PM, meaning his fourth period class was nearly over! There's no way he could have gone to class without looking like an idiot, so he decided that staying in the infirmary was the best course of action. Suzaku cast his eyes over at Kira on the bed next to him, feeling a tingling in his head as he continued to watch her sleeping form. Then he remembered why Kira was brought here as well: she fainted.

But why did she faint in the first place? She asked me to have lunch with her, but all I did was remind that she could always ask me anytime. Then...I think Alex gave me some food, which was really good, so good that I had a hard time telling her. And then...did Vash get back by then? I can't remember! What happened!?

~~~AnObserver?~~~

As Suzaku worked to straighten out his scattered memory, something stirred in the room. Where there appeared to be nothing at the nurse's desk, there was actually a being hidden from the sight of normal students whose existence is only a legend within the academy. Typically, the upperclassmen were most familiar with it since they dedicated their successful marriages to this mysterious observer. Now it had its sights set on Suzaku, who had the feeling of being watched. The observer carefully brought out a bow from its back and quietly nocked back a wooden arrow, aiming it for Suzaku's face. As Suzaku began to look around for anything out of the ordinary, the arrow was released and flew towards him at a high speed. However, through a stroke of luck, the shot barely grazed him as it went past his face and broke when it collided with the wall. Suzaku looked to where the arrow came from and ran to the desk, his arms out wide as he tackled the air in front of him.

“Ahh~!” Came a girl's voice.

“W-What the hell!?” Suzaku shouted as his eyes widened at the sight of a girl literally appearing from nowhere.

She was wearing a white robe that was lined with streaks of pink on the ends and a red laurel crown sat upon her head, her short white hair adding an even more graceful aura to her figure. Small white wings adorned her back flapping every so often as the scattered feathers that she made disappeared into flashes of light once they touched the ground. Suzaku blushed as he took in her beauty.

A quick glance made Suzaku realize his error in grabbing her: his hands were planted firmly on her breasts. Horrified, he released the girl and frantically backed away to his bed, knowing all too well what usually happens with something like this. Surprisingly, the girl just looked at him with a flushed face and a small smile upon her lips. She spoke to Suzaku in an odd language which he could not understand in the slightest.

“Uyo rae lleray utec nweh uoy tge so ggarsesvie.”

“...Um, what?”

“Ouy ndo't arendstnud em? Oh, I wonk!” She said as she realized that no humans could understand her native language. Holding a hand up to Suzaku, she looked into her pockets and pulled out a cell phone. Looking around the menus, she found the application she was looking for and enabled it, causing a ray of light to descend upon her while she put away her phone.

“Ahem, as I was saying, well done on finding me even though I was cloaked.” Her soft melodic voice rang out, this time in English.

“W-Wait, I can understand what you're saying? But, how? You were talking in some weird language just five seconds ago...”

“That was not 'some weird language', it was my native tongue. I forgot most humans are unable to figure it out, so I asked my boss to help me speak in your language.”

“Y-Your boss? You mean that light that came down just now? Is he...is he really-”

“Yeah, pretty much. He's that guy up there watching us all.”

“Then...y-you're an a-angel?”

“That's what my title is, yes. H-Hey, wait a second!” The angel's voice was drowned out as Suzaku fainted, his mind unable to process all of the weird happenings on his first day of high school so far.

~~~DoesThatMeanSuzuReallyDied?~~~

A/N: So, "insert writer's commentary here", huh? Very well, as you have just read, the angel Cupid has appeared before our lazy main character. Why didn't he faint before you ask? Well, being the lazy and apathetic boy he is, he plays videogames from time to time, meaning that the vampire didn't really phase him too much. Now the angel did because, well how would you react if someone just appeared right in front of you after trying to kill you? My point stands, but I know you all want to know what she really said. Any anagram readers and/or dyslexic people should have been able to figure something out, but for those of you 'normal people' (I consider myself 'above normal'), she said "You are really cute when you get so aggressive", followed by "You don't understand me? Oh, I know!". Don't believe me? Go ahead and rearrange the letters of each word in her dialogue until it makes familiar words. Next chapter will be up soon, so don't worry about waiting so long!
